visitor can fill the details on their own and complete the registration process. The system
also sends instant notifications to the host via Email and SMS and alerts the host of the
visitor arrival. It also allows printing of visitor badges and helps the employees with easy
identification. The automated visitor management systems offer a professional check-in
experience to the visitors and also enhance the security of the facility. A live dashboard,
